The fierce open-ground battle started instantly and ended in a very short time.
In just five minutes, the US military lost a total of twelve dive bombers, but the "Yamato" was also actually hit by an aerial bomb on the front deck.
The violent explosion tore off hundreds of kilograms of armor and caused more than ten soldier casualties, adding a bloody smell to the fireworks. The battle damage was in a controllable state and basically did not affect the subsequent battle. After all, it was a heavy battleship with "rough skin and thick flesh".
Japanese battleships generally need to hit five or six torpedoes and a dozen heavy bombs before they completely lose their combat effectiveness and sink to the bottom of the sea. A mere bomb will not have much impact at all.
"Light the fire! Light the fire!"
"Bring the wounded ashore! Repair the damaged system!"
Fireworks erupted again on the "Yamato", and everything went according to plan.
Fang Tianlang was watching everything from a distance with a telescope outside the center of the combat command room. A US military reconnaissance plane would pass by soon and should be able to take pictures of the fire and the transportation of the wounded.
The U.S. military may also conduct a test attack or may choose to conduct an island-wide bombing and then prepare for the subsequent landing operation.
¡¡¡¡
"Another hit! At least three!"
"Very good! We were delayed for a day! It's nothing! The advantage is still with us."
"Are they still establishing a forward base?! The Japanese army has large-caliber artillery that can hit the Kerama Islands. According to the data, it should be the Type 90 240mm heavy cannon."
The U.S. military commander looked carefully at the photos that had just been developed in the combat command room.
The bullet holes on the front deck of the "Yamato" were clearly visible, and there was also fierce fire in the rear. Even if there were still some artillery that could fire, it was not a cause for concern.
A U.S. battleship can easily sink a battleship with only a few guns left with a 406mm main gun.
"We cannot establish a forward base without destroying land-based firepower and abandon the Kerama Islands."
Halsey shook his head, stretched out his hand and pointed to the northwest of the Kerama Islands on the map.
"Build an advance base here, across Mingki Island, which is more than 60 kilometers away from Okinawa. The Japanese artillery cannot reach here. Although it is a bit far away, safety is the first priority."
"Just choose here, make a landing plan immediately, and bomb a wave first!"
A firm voice sounded, and the US military decisively gave up its original plan. The US military's flexibility far exceeded that of the Japanese army. If Fang Tianlang had not commanded the operation, the entire Okinawa Island would have been stepped on by the boots of US soldiers.
¡¡¡¡
"The U.S. military has begun to attack Tonaki Island. It should change the location of the forward base. The Americans are very timid."
The sound of rumbling explosions was faintly heard, and smoke billowed over Tonaki Island.
"As expected, this is the US military. Just one heavy artillery can make them timid."
Fang Tianlang smiled slightly and continued.
"Don't worry about them. Wait until they are finished. It will take at least a day and a half. At sixty kilometers, the support effect will be much worse. Send a report to the US military and send some supplies. The pilot just captured needs food."
"Hi!"
Fang Tianlang returned to the room and lay down to rest, a date flashed in his mind.
In four days, the German government will announce its surrender, and the entire Allied force will come to suppress it.
Even if there is a chance to completely destroy the Pacific Fleet in front of us, we still have to face the Atlantic Fleet and the densely packed destroyers and frigates of the US military.
The terrifying Magnesium Navy received a total of twenty-six large aircraft carriers, nine light aircraft carriers, more than one hundred escort aircraft carriers, ten battleships, forty-eight cruisers, more than three hundred destroyers, and nearly five hundred There are frigates, 203 submarines and tens of thousands of landing craft.
With such a huge force, even if it is bitten a few times, it will only damage part of the vitality and it can be recovered within a few months.
"The future is long! Okinawa! Haha."
Fang Tianlang smiled bitterly, not knowing how to face the coming huge power.
The information asymmetry advantage of the time traveler is not omnipotent. Only by fighting with all our strength can we weaken the power of the Magnesium State and make the world structure in the future more balanced.
"Hmm Let's attack Iwo Jima again. This time we will study the underwater infiltration operations."
Fang Tianlang ate a few pieces of dried meat, turned over and went straight to sleep.
Have free time??Replenish sleep, you may need to fight continuously in the days to come, and you will not be able to support it without a good body.
There was a slight snore in the room.
The Japanese commander faced the U.S. military¡¯s tactical actions on Tonaki Island with indifference.
The island 60 kilometers away from Okinawa is not of much value and does not require the dispatch of combat forces to deal with it. There may be an opportunity to send a destroyer to surprise and fire hundreds of artillery shells. All important tactical actions must be confirmed by the "God of War", including the following The defense battle of the main island.
¡¡¡¡
"Ito-san, does the Navy still have two large submarines, the I-400 and the I-401?"
Fang Tianlang took a nap for an hour and stood in front of Ito Zhengyi in high spirits.
"Yes, both ships are in very good condition and ready for combat."
Ito nodded slightly, an expectant look on his face.
"Send a telegram to the headquarters and ask the I-400 and I-401 to carry the special advance team to attack Iwo Jima. Penetration operations do not require too many soldiers. One hundred soldiers, sixty soldiers carrying four mortars, two hundred "The remaining soldiers launched a ground attack, and we launched a surprise attack from the air. The US military did not expect that we would attack again from underwater."
Fang Tianlang pinched his temples and his expression became solemn.
"Our opponent is too powerful, and we must look for his weaknesses at all times to attack."
¡°Even if all one hundred soldiers are killed, if you can destroy dozens of heavy bombers and kill some crew members, it will be a good reward.¡±
"Okay! I'll send a telegram right away!"
Ito Zhengyi seemed full of confidence, and the suggestions put forward by the "God of War" would quickly turn into combat plans.
"You can ask the commanders who have withdrawn from Iwo Jima. They are familiar with the terrain and know where is the safest place to attack. The Battle of Iwo Jima is not over, and the US military will shed more blood on Iwo Jima."
"OK!"
Fang Tianlang let out a sigh of relief. No one would think that the Japanese army would be able to sneak attack on Iwo Jima at this time, which had already been attacked once. The US military had strengthened its air defense, but there was obviously still a loophole for the frogmen to penetrate underwater.
One hundred soldiers are divided into a fire suppression group and an assault group to fight at the same time. In theory, they should be able to easily add another wound to the US military.
Taking the initiative to attack everywhere and accumulating results, if the two large submarines can carry out special operations well, they will leave a distinguished record in the entire Pacific.
Conventional warfare will definitely not be able to quickly defeat the powerful Allied forces. Only by using various clever tactics can we weaken the opponent bit by bit. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
